Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
Math teacher Melinda Thielbar teams up with manga artists to create this first book in the "Manga Math Mysteries" graphic novel series. When kung fu student Joy is entrusted with the school keys by her sifu (teacher), she is horrified when the keys are stolen by a local kid who sneaks into her school and steals all the kung fu gear. Now Joy and fellow kung fu students Adam, Sam, and Amy, must use the smelly old uniforms the thieves left behind to learn who stole their gear—and how to get it back. Using some basic math and deductive reasoning, the kids reason out where the uniforms must have come from and where the thieves could have taken their gear. It is a simple story told in the style of PBS Kids Go! educational cartoons such as Cyberchase, although some readers may wonder about some of the plot holes (would the kids' teacher really let the kids solve the mystery on their own without reporting her school's break-in, theft and vandalism to the police?). Still, one has to give Thielbar credit for showing young kids some of the practical ways basic math and logic can be used to accomplish tasks such as taking inventory or figuring out directions. Reviewer: Michael Jung
From The Critics
Gr 2-5–This series is purported to help children with math skills. Friends from a martial-arts school use easy-to-see clues to solve mysteries. In The Lost Key, the students count shelves, multiply the number of jump ropes and mitts, and subtract the number of pairs of shorts they have to determine what is missing from the school. The math is too simple for the audience that might pick up the books. The artwork is vaguely mangalike but more cartoonish and looks as though it was drawn quickly with spare detail. The stories are thin and dull, and most children will solve the mysteries long before the conclusions.–Carrie Rogers-Whitehead, Kearns Library, UT
